Awesome - nice little wrinkle that makes the NFL interesting this fall -- Chad Ocho and his boy TO lining up as a one-two.

He was fine for the Bills. I don't see him being some super huge distraction for the Bengals. Should be fun.

That's going to be interesting: Coles, 86, and TO.

He'll be back in Buffalo for the preseason game. I'm sure he'll get a nice welcome.

If Cinci has problems in the locker room, it will be because of Bryant.

Smart move by TO to sign with a team that has a QB. Smarter than his last move.

About two weeks ago Vic Carruci said he didn't think any team would sign TO. He was wrong as was everyone that blamed his poor numbers on him last year. TO might have been 20% responsible for his poor season, but his QB's & the system were responsible for 80% of the drop off TO had last year.

I thought he didn't officially sign yet? I mean, I know it's set in stone, but until the pen crosses the t's and dot's the i's... wait... you kinda top cross the t in his name in cursive...

TO will return to a 70 catch 1000 yard 8 TD season on a team with a real QB, a real offense, and a real thread opposite him.

Exactly.

Tons of media people are slamming his numbers last year and all of them fail to recognize the talent or lack thereof that surrounded him in Buffalo.

glad he didn't. Don't know if he'd be creating more drama or TD's vs. the bills.

TO more or less gave up by midseason last year. how many routes did you see him just give up on.

TO is like a little kid. if he isn't entertained, he'll just check out mentally. That's where the dropped balls and not coming back to the huddle started.

If he would have been on a professional level offense last year, he would have been fine.

However, i do think he got shut down by most DB's. I do think that his 98 yard catch was him toasting a youngster. Revis owned him. The pats owned him. The dolphins owned him. So i'm happy for the guy, but i dont think he's going to return to form, but i don't think he'll look quite as bad as a bill.

Also, his production was significantly better in the second half of the season.
